The studio craft object creates a link between the forming hands of an artisan and the hands of those who use and enjoy it. Masters of Their Craft, from a traveling exhibit of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, highlights 51 pieces by artists like Dale Chihuly, Richard Mawdsley, George Nakashima, Judy Kensley McKie, Kent Riable, and Sam Maloof, who apply superb technical mastery and a deep understanding of their materials to produce works that blur the boundary between art and object.
